The mission...
Many times in the transgender community people are overlooked by
health care providers for various reasons. This is usually due to lack of
education in regard to the needs of the transgender client and the unique issues that go along with providing health services to the transgender community. We have heard or lived through the stories of how medical technicians were rude, nurses using the wrong pronoun in the waiting rooms, and even how doctors neglected to read our charts and assumed we were one gender while our medical charts shows our born physical gender.
The goal of TransHealth Coordinators is to offer much needed education to the medical community, while still offering different options in obtaining health services for everyone in the trans community.
Healthcare providers are in a position to have great influence over the quality of care patients receive. Unfortunately, some may not have the information they need to offer appropriate care to transgender patients.No person needs to be refused medical care because of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or gender expression. Nor should any person be treated in a disrespectful or demeaning way.
It is a personal goal of the director of TransHealth Coordinators to provide resources and options to all transgender or non- gender conforming individuals.
One goal of this site is to help those who might be in need of
obtaining health care, but are challenged due to money, culture or social issues.
Another goal is to help as a resource guide for health care providers in regard to quality of care for transgender
patients.
And finally, our mission is always to help educate both the
public and health care providers to practice tolerance toward all people who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming.
TransHealth Coordinators is a non-profit, educational organization whose dual purpose is to help the transgender community access safe,compassionate and respectful health care, and to advise health care professionals on better ways to serve their transgender patients. We achieve this by offering resources, health screenings at conferences, and by finding satisfactory solutions to health care grievances by employing education and sensitivity training and taking stronger action when needed against a the medical provider or clinic/hospital.
